Ryu Hyun-jin pitches hard in the final match against Cuba in the 2008 Beijing Olympics at the Wukesong Baseball Field on Saturday evening. Ryu Hyun-jin��s stellar pitching drew acclaim from around the world. What he showed in the final match against baseball powerhouse Cuba in the Beijing Olympics on Saturday was a world class performance. MLB.com called him a ��workhorse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],�� saying his ��circle changeup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],�� which suddenly broke down on the outside of a right-handed hitter and held the mighty Cuban batsmen to just five hits and two runs over eight-and-a-third innings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was crucial in delivering Korea��s first ever Olympic gold medal in the sport. With such speed and control,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], combined with his fastballs at 148 km/h,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he was dominant on the mound. So what made Ryu��s changeup so effective during the Olympics?
�� Unpredictable
The most effective aspect of Ryu��s circle changeup balls is unpredictability. Ryu��s arm angle overwhelms the batters. He releases his pitches from a high point and literally ��throws down�� the balls to the hitters. The arm angle for fastball and circle changeup is the same, which makes it very difficult for batters to guess whether he is throwing a fastball or a breaking ball,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and as soon as a hitter swings his bat thinking it was a fastball,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the ball breaks down. There is little they can do to prepare for this.

�� Speed
Ryu��s changeup is fast, While of course not as fast as his fastballs, his breaking balls go at near 140 km/h. That makes it even more difficult for batters to differentiate his fastballs from changeups. Moreover,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he controls the speed of his changeups within about a 10 km/h range. He also smartly mixes his pitches with fast and off-speed balls to fool batters, and this diversity makes him invaluable as a pitcher.
�� Control
What makes all of these possible is his control. With his changeup, he gets hitters to full count,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], swinging in the air, struck out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and makes one-bound pitches. He controls his throwing points any way he likes. He uses different courses when facing left- and right-handed batters. When facing right-handed Cuban hitters, he threw changeups that broke down on the outside. With left-handed batters, his balls curved from the middle to the outside.
In short, his changeup is a work of art with many different elements. No wonder the world is transfixed.
